-- consists of an extensive volume of artwork; rare books and
manuscripts; sheet music and original compositions of Leide-Tedesco and
others; numerous photographs, photo-postcards, and musical
programs signed by notable conductors, composers and musicians of the
late 19th and early 20th century; as well as personal correspondence
with well-known figures in the art, music, science and political
professions.

Only

catalogued. It is a time-consuming task of enormous proportions. Only a
small portion of the collection will be available for viewing online at
any time.

For
a limited time, parts of the collection will
be offered for public auction. private sale, and/or bequeathed to the
most appropriate individuals or institutions as determined by their
familial, artistic or historical significance.
